SHARE User Conference

Dear SHARE User,

(Apologies for cross postings)

The first SHARE Users' conference organized in Italy will take place in June 28-29, 2012, at the Economics department of Ca' Foscari University in Venice, Italy. Attached please find the call for papers. Information about the conference can be found at the Conference website (http://venus.unive.it/share/index.php?id=55). Submissions of abstracts must be made to the email from which you are receiving this message (share@unive.it). Deadline for submissions is April 15, 2012.

The Conference has the objective of promoting the exchange of research ideas and discuss results of ongoing research among international users of SHARE data. Submissions by PhD students and researchers at early stages of their career are particularly encouraged: there are no conference fees and financial support, conditional on the number of submissions and available resources, will be provided to graduate students.

The invited speakers will be Axel H. Börsch-Supan (Munich Center for the Economics of Aging, Max Planck Institute for Social Law and Social Policy) and Alberto Holly (Université de Lausanne). The welcome address will be given by Guglielmo Weber (University of Padua).

We hope you are interested in submitting to the conference and we kindly ask you to circulate the call for papers among your colleagues.

Best regards,
The organizing committee
